White Trash Anthem Lyrics

White Trash Anthem lyrics

Have you ever prayed to the night sky?
Under one of them cold street
lights?
Watched another stolen car drive then lose your hope and say
"This is where I'll die"?

But you try to say you know
me.
But you try to say you're from my world.
Well, have you ever gone to
sleep to the sounds of the gunshots, sirens, and violence all
alone?

They want to break me down. I hope I can hold my
ground.

Your world is MTV. Spring breaks and ecstasy.
You got your
hopes and you'll get your dreams.
Well, that choice wasn't there for
me.

My world remains unseen by you.
Poverty and no family,
Broken
homes and broken dreams,
I fall upon the thorns of life. I
bleed.

They want to break me down. I won't back down.
They try to
break me down. I hope I can hold my ground.

I ain't I your kind of
white. I ain't that kind of white.
I'll never be your kind of white, I'll
never be your kind 'cause you made me outcast.

I ain't your kind of
white. I've never been your kind of white.
I ain't that kind of white 'cause
I'm a lowlife outcast piece of white trash.

Five years on down the road
(you've got) two kids and a high paying job,
(with a) picket fence and a
college degree.
Well, that choice wasn't there for me.

This path on
which I walk: it ain't a game and it ain't all talk.
This is all I ever
had.
This is all they ever let me have.

I ain't ever been nor will I
ever be another blind eye in society.
I seen the way it was for the people
like me.
I seen the way it was for the families so...

Have you ever
prayed to the night sky?
Under one of them cold street lights?
Watched
another stolen car drive by and lost your hope and said "This is where
I'll die"?

I ain't I your kind of white. I ain't that kind of
white.
I'll never be your kind of white, I'll never be your kind 'cause you
made me outcast.

I ain't your kind of white. I've never been your kind
of white.
I ain't that kind of white 'cause I'm a lowlife outcast piece of
white trash.
